What is The Tarot Chronicles?

The Story

It's 1941 in the bustling city of Arcana. While investigating a break-in at a local antiquities store, John, a former police officer turned detective, gets revealed to him a startling and unbelievable secret: Characters from the world of the Tarot have crossed over into this world and upset the natural order and balance. It then becomes his mission to find them and send them back across the rift before the final card, The World, crosses and destroys all that exists.

Along the way, John will meet both friends and foes alike: Those that want to go back, those that are indifferent, and those that will do anything to make sure John cannot succeed in his task. Using clues, his wits (and his gun), he must find and fight them all to prevent catastrophe.

What we are doing

Our goal is to fund and shoot the first episode of the series (the pilot) in and around Fort Worth/Dallas TX (only a small part of the overall series, each episode equalling roughly 10 minutes). The series takes place mainly in the early 1940s, but includes ties to present day, utilizing a viral marketing campaign known as alternative reality gaming, which involves viewers to become active participants in the unfolding events. This will be accomplished through websites, social media accounts, and even printed promotional items.

Where YOU come in

When you take into consideration the locations, sets, costumes, makeup, food for actors, gas, equipment rentals, original music, it starts to add up (quickly). And that's why we need your help! We are putting together an amazing group of talented people, but we can't do it alone. With your donations, we can bring this captivating and engaging series to life. Any amount is accepted, and even the smallest donation receives a token of our appreciation.

Each donation receives a choice of reward (listed to the right) based on the level that is donated, and the rewards increase as the amount increases.

If you can't donate, you can still be a great help to us by spreading the word about our project to friends and family via your networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or however else you talk to people (Actual words could be involved. You never know, it could happen.)

Our minimum goal is to bring in $3000, but anything beyond that is an asset to the epic tale that we want you to be a part in creating.

To anyone who wishes to donate, keep in mind that the money you put in is a pledge that does not get taken from your bank account until the funding period ends.

Please help us make this story into a reality!
